At Lawn Doctor of Pinellas Park-St. Petersburg, we offer effective mosquito spraying for Southwest Tampa properties. Our service uses a strong insecticide to quickly kill off occupying mosquitoes and leave your home with fewer of these nasty pests. We also help to reduce breeding habitats and limit future issues.
While we encourage all of our clients to seek as much protection as possible from these terrible pests, there are so many products and tips out there that simply do not work. The important thing to remember is that mosquitoes are aggressive and desperate pests that bite us out of the maternal instinct to support their young. Half-hearted, gimmicky solutions such as mosquito wristbands, citronella candles, and anti-mosquito smartphone apps simply will not work.
If you want to improve your home protection and reduce bites when you are out in the world, here are our tips for mosquito tactics and products that actually work.
Remedies to Supplement Our Expert Mosquito Spraying
Skin Repellents. When you visit a park, nature reserve, or other outdoor area that hasn’t been professionally sprayed for mosquitoes, we highly recommend using some form of repellent on your skin. The most powerful options are chemical repellents that contain DEET or picaridin. If you prefer a botanical solution, the CDC recommends lemon eucalyptus oil.
Mosquito Traps. By no means should these devices be the primary element in your home defense. However, as a small supplement to our expert spraying, they can help to reduce mosquitoes.
Prevent Standing Water. This is by far the most critical tip we can provide. Mosquitoes need standing water to reproduce, so cutting down on these habitats is a big deal. Any object that can collect rainwater should be removed from your yard. This includes items as small as a bottle cap. Mosquitoes can lay hundreds of eggs on very small bodies of water, so your goal should be to deprive them of this opportunity.
